resend-setup

resend-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vellum-ai/vellum-assistant. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,390 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A setup guide for sending email through Resend using the user’s own account and domain. Resend is an email delivery service with an API, which is a way for software to send messages programmatically.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure Resend, detect the sending domain, and prepare the assistant to send emails through that account.
Why use it?
It explains how to store the API key securely and verify the account before sending. It keeps email delivery tied to the user’s own provider and domain.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

resend-setup scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/check-config.ts, scripts/setup-webhook.ts, scripts/store-api-key.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Send emails through the user's own Resend account. The user provides their Resend API key and you send via their domain.

Setup

Step 0: Check Existing Configuration

Before starting, check whether Resend is already configured:

bun skills/resend-setup/scripts/check-config.ts

The script outputs JSON: { "configured": boolean, "hasApiKey": boolean, "hasWebhookSecret": boolean, "details": string }.

  • If configured is true — Resend is already set up. Offer to verify the connection or reconfigure.
  • If configured is false — continue to Step 1.

Step 1: Store the API Key

Run the store script to securely collect the API key:

bun skills/resend-setup/scripts/store-api-key.ts

The script opens a secure credential prompt, stores the key with the correct injection templates, and exits. If it exits 0, the key is stored. Exit code 130 means the user cancelled the prompt — nothing was stored; that's a valid choice, not an error, so ask whether they'd like to try again rather than treating it as a failure. Any other non-zero exit is a real failure. Never ask for the key in chat.

Step 2: Detect the Domain

After storing the API key, automatically detect the user's domain — don't ask them for it. Call the Resend Domains API:

curl -s https://api.resend.com/domains \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Run this with network_mode: "proxied" and the resend credential so the Authorization header is injected automatically. The response contains a data array of domain objects with name and status fields. Pick the first domain with "status": "verified" (or the only domain if there's just one). If no verified domains are found, tell the user they need to verify a domain in their Resend dashboard first.

Use hi@<domain> as the default sender address. Remember the domain for future sends.

Step 3: Verify the Connection

Send a test request to confirm the API key works:

curl -s https://api.resend.com/domains \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

resend-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository vellum-ai/vellum-assistant (1,214 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,390 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (harvests environment variables, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
